Copyright. A children’s book is a literary work and is protected by copyright law (which covers the text and original illustrations). Copyright gives the author exclusive rights to reproduce, distribute, make derivative works, and publicly display or perform the work.
A few additional notes:
- Copyright exists automatically on creation, but registering (e.g., with the U.S. Copyright Office) gives extra legal benefits (required before suing for statutory damages in the U.S.).
- The book’s title or series name could be protected separately by trademark if used as a brand.
- Patents and trade secrets are not appropriate for a published book.
